Thank You, Stephen Colbert
May 6th, 2017 4:23 PM
I oppose the push to remove "The Late Show" comedian Stephen Colbert from the air because of his obscene tirade against President Donald Trump. In fact, I wish the video of his boorish diatribe would go viral. The best remedy against the political left's ongoing crusade to remake America in its own vulgar image is maximum exposure of its irrationality.
The People vs. the Press
May 5th, 2017 4:24 PM
President Trump and I have something in common. We were both invited to last Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner and we declined.

Leftist Comedian: I Was Told Not to Mock Trump at the WHCA Dinner
May 1st, 2017 10:15 AM
Both The Washington Post and Twitchy drew attention to the jokey disagreement between White House Correspondents Association president Jeff Mason of Reuters and his hired Trump-ripper of the night, Hasan Minhaj of The Daily Show. "I was explicitly told not to go after the administration," Minhaj said. "You were not told that," Mason said. Clearly, you don't set a no-Trump-bashing standard and…

President Trump is skipping this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, but that hasn’t stopped the media from nevertheless hyping the event.
